Snow on the Celestial Mountains in the fifth month; no flowers, only the cold.
It was hard to believe that in a desert blanketed by black sand, there could be a mountain that soared into the heavens. Because it rose above the cloud line, its peak was covered in a thick layer of snow.
Fang Qingyuan had set out in early April. By the time he reached Black Sand City aboard the Floating Cloud Giant Ship, it was already the end of the month. Now, after trekking for another half-month, he had finally arrived at his destination: Loulan City.
Because the city was situated on a thousand-zhang cliff, many also called it Cliff City.
Halfway up the thousand-zhang mountain, a Cultivator had used Great Divine Techniques to shear off the peak, transforming the once-rugged terrain into a city suitable for mortals to inhabit.
By day, Cliff City was bustling and prosperous. The exotic people and sights were a real eye-opener for Fang Qingyuan.
